    Who is speaking?

How many people are speaking?

  • What country are these people from?

  • What are they? What are they discussing?

A: Ukrainian people consider their country

as a democratic state. For me the word 'democratic' is associated with the notion 'justice'. How do people participate in realisation of justice in Ukraine?

B: As any other country of the world Ukraine has the body of judicial power, represented by the courts. The people of Ukraine have opportunity to directly participate in realisation of justice through people's assessors1 and jurors2.

A: In my country the President has rather limited power. What about your President?

B: According to the Ukrainian Constitution the President besides representing our state has many duties and rights. For example, he/she appoints the Prime- Minister and some other top officials, sets all-Ukrainian referendum in the case of need, stops the power of Verkhovna Rada under certain circumstances, etc. But at the same time some of his/her actions must be approved by Verkhovna Rada. So to some extent his power is limited.

A: As I know in some post-Soviet states, presidents are elected with no alternative candidates. 99 % of the voters say 'yes' to those who are actually in power. Sometimes the post of President is secured for the father of the nation for his lifetime. What about your country?

B: In 2010 the presidential elections in Ukraine were held the fifth time since Ukraine's independence. The very fact that 18 candidates ran at the latest elections should be looked upon as a sign of considerable progress of democracy.

A: I think that very few post-Soviet states can boast of anything similar.

b) Think about some other questions that can be asked.

Dramatise the dialogue in pairs.
